this is another topic about harry being a horcrux, although i personally dont think he is one. but here's an interesting thought.

as i wrote in another post earlier, what if voldemort didn't intend on killing harry in the first place? what if he actually wanted to make harry a horcrux and kill neville instead? but why would he want to make harry a horcrux?

i think that harry might be the heir to gryffindor. dumbledore said voldemort would want to make a horcrux out of something of gryffindor or ravenclaw, but what if voldy made a horcrux out of someone related to one of them. even if someone found out about voldemorts plan to create 6 horcruxes, no one would ever think that he could make one out of gryffindors heir (maybe harry?)

when voldemort was defeated, maybe he never used avada kedavra to kill harry, but actually used a curse to make him a horcrux. either way, as we know his plan backfired. or did it?

this theory has many holes, and even i dont necessarily believe it to be true. but just a very interesting idea i thought up. also, please dont laugh if this is an extremely dumb theory.

He did perform Aveda Kedavra on Harry thats a known fact. You cant make a Horcruc by saying Avada Kedavra. Thats like ordering a big mac and expecting chicken nuggets.

If he used the Horcrux spell on him that would have backfired on him putting his own soul back in him. It wouldn't deprive him of a body or give Harry the soul. It also makes no sense to make a person a horcrux, and then repeatedly try to kill him later.

o ok, but where does it say that he did perform avada kedavra on him? just curious.

i do believe that harry isnt a horcrux, but im just trying to think of some new theories before the book comes out. (still cant wait!!!)

Well the fake mad eye moody said that harry is the only person who survived an avada kadavra when he was teach defence of the dark arts.

And didnt Voldemort mention it in goblet of fire? Im not sure i think i saw it in the movie i might be wrong and the movie isnt very reliable.

yeah it wouldnt make sense for voldemort to make him a horcrux and then repeatedly tries to kill him. but who knows if the horcrux is destroyed or not when harry is dead. if harry is dead but the horcrux is still intact then this would be the perfect plan for voldemort.

but if voldemort were to kill harry he could probably magically preserve the body or something. but this theory still has no real way of proving itself.

EDIT: congrats on 1,000th post!

If harry is a Horcrux(unlikely, actually scratch that hes definetly not one) but lets say he is i imagine he cant die unless the horcrux is destroyed as he might be able to live on Voldemorts soul.

interesting, so if harry was a horcrux voldemort might have to destroy the one in harry before he could actually kill him. still there is more evidence that harry isnt a horcrux.

here's another interesting theory i found tho...

uhhhhhh. that makes no sense at all. it would be totally unfair if someone dying to protect you would rip your soul. Besides...Harry woudln't live on in voldy like it said. Harry would just have no body. He'd have to get his body back via the blood bone potion. that would take too much time out of the story and still bring us back to harry having to track down and kill voldy again.

yeah i know, im with u on this one. i completely agree that harry is NOT a horcrux. it just doesnt make sense. im just trying to think up or find some theories in the meantime while awaiting for the book to come out.

jk said hes not a horcrux about 2 months after the release of hbp. i dont understand how people still think hes one.

EDIT: where does she specifically say that? can someone post a link?

Actually it would be a really good plan by voldy if you think about it.
Voldy could never die as long as harry is still alive. So if voldy goes down, they both go down.
